A monitoring system configured to measure the user's health-related parameters while in a certain state is disclosed. Based on whether the user is in the certain state and/or one or more criteria being met, the monitoring system can perform a physiological measurement such as a blood pressure measurement. The monitoring system can be capable of dynamically adjusting the measurement parameters, criteria, and acquired information based one or more scalers. The criteria can be based on user states or conditions such that user disruptions can be reduced and the measurement accuracy and/or efficiency can be enhanced. The monitoring system can also measure the user's parameters during the measurement and may abort the measurement if the measurement may not have accurate information and/or to reduce any disruption to the user. Alternatively, the measurement can be annotated so that the measurement can be used during data interpretation with certain qualifiers attached.

An object of the present invention is to provide a chair-type phototherapy device that enables a patient to perform light irradiation accurately targeted at a treatment site in a seated position on a chair and consequently achieves effective phototherapy even when the treatment site is in the back region that the patient is unable to see, for example, as in light irradiation for dysuria patients and patients with pain, and the patient performs light irradiation by himself/herself at home. The present invention provides a chair-type phototherapy device having a seat on which a patient is seated. The chair-type phototherapy device includes a radiation module configured to emit radiation light toward a living body, a drive module positioned behind the patient for moving the radiation module, and a fixing module fixing the drive module to the seat.

Methods, devices, systems, and kits are provided that buffer the time spaced glucose signals in a memory, and when a request for real time glucose level information is detected, transmit the buffered glucose signals and real time monitored glucose level information to a remotely located device, process a subset of the received glucose signals to identify a predetermined number of consecutive glucose data points indicating an adverse condition such as an impending hypoglycemic condition, confirm the adverse condition based on comparison of the predetermined number of consecutive glucose data points to a stored glucose data profile associated with the adverse condition, where confirming the adverse condition includes generating a notification signal when the impending hypoglycemic condition is confirmed, and activate a radio frequency (RF) communication module to wirelessly transmit the generated notification signal to the remotely located device only when the notification signal is generated.

Methods, systems, devices, assemblies and apparatuses for treatment of hypertension in a patient using renal denervation. The therapeutic assembly includes an energy delivery element. The energy delivery element is configured to provide renal denervation energy to a nerve within a blood vessel of a patient. The therapeutic assembly includes a controller. The controller is coupled to the energy delivery element. The controller is configured to determine that the hypertension in the patient is orthostatic. The controller is configured to apply renal denervation energy to the patient using the energy delivery element.

A method for controlling a scanner comprises: sensing an outer surface of a body of a subject to collect body surface data, using machine learning to predict a surface of an internal organ of the subject based on the body surface data, and controlling the scanner based on the predicted surface of the internal organ.

A wearable electronic device includes a light sensor configured to sense environmental light, a timer that provides time indicators, a motion sensing unit that senses motion and outputs motion data according thereto, and a data storage that receives and stores the motion data or other data derived therefrom in association with the time indicators. After sensing environmental light with the light sensor, the timer begins providing the time indicators and the motion sensing unit begins sensing the motion.

Generally, methods, devices, and systems related to analyte monitoring and data logging are provided—e.g., as related to in vivo analyte monitoring devices and systems. In some aspects, methods, devices, and systems are provided that relate to enable related settings based on an expected use of an in vivo positioned sensor; logging or otherwise recording analyte levels acquired or derived—e.g., sample analyte levels more frequently than they are logged or otherwise recorded in memory; dynamically adjust the data logging frequency; randomly determine times of acquiring or storing analyte levels from the in-vivo positioned analyte sensors; and enable recording related settings when the system is operable.

Methods and systems are provided for lowering power consumption in an optical sensor, such as a pulse oximeter. In one example, a method for an optical sensor includes illuminating a light emitter of the optical sensor according to set sensor parameters, the sensor parameters set based on hardware noise or external interference characterization and light transmission or reflection of a tissue contributing to a signal output by the optical sensor, the sensor parameters including current drive parameters of the light emitter, and adjusting the current drive parameters of the light emitter to maintain a target signal to noise ratio of the signal output by the optical sensor.

An intervention system employing an interventional robot (30), an interventional imaging modality (10) and an interventional controller (70). In 5 operation, the interventional controller (70) navigates an anatomical roadmap (82) of an anatomical region of a patient in accordance with an interventional plan to thereby control a navigation of the interventional robot (30) within the anatomical region in accordance with the anatomical roadmap (82). Upon a detection by the interventional controller (70) of an occurrence of the interventional controller (70) navigating 10 proximately to a critical anatomical location within the anatomical roadmap (82), the interventional controller (70) pauses the navigation of the interventional robot (30) within anatomical region and autonomously controls an operation of the interventional imaging modality (10) for generating an updated anatomical roadmap (82) of the anatomical region whereby the interventional controller (70) navigates the updated 15 anatomical roadmap (82) of the anatomical region in accordance with the interventional plan to thereby control a resumed navigation of the interventional robot (30) within the anatomical region.

An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a device including a housing and a biometric sensor, the biometric sensor is configured to sense whether a first part of a human body is in contact with a first electrode and a second electrode, detect whether a second part of the human body is in contact with a third electrode and a fourth electrode, obtain phase information of the impedance of the human body by using the first, second, third and fourth electrodes, determine whether the acquired phase information of the impedance is within a designated range, and provide a guide for a measurement method when the acquired phase information of the impedance deviates from the designated range. Various other embodiments identified through the specification are possible.
